In version 21.3 of emacs running under Windows XP, a fresh install
treats Ctrl-h as equivalent to Backspace.  For example, when I
strike M-x help RET k <key>, where <key> is either Ctrl-h or
Backspace, I obtain documentation for the DEL key.  Other Windows
applications can distinguish between these keys.  Is there some
way to configure emacs to recognize the difference?
